riga

so this past week i traveled to riga, lativa!  it is a very small eastern european country that is north of poland.

there i was able to fellowship with so many friends that have touched my heart since i have been here and will miss incredibly when i return in a few weeks.  

these girls will always hold a special place in my heart as they have touched my soul.

and these folks, my word, have been with me every step of this journey!  they are kind of like my mom and dad on the field!

and here is riga!  honestly i don't know much about the city because i stayed at the hotel majority of the time because i just enjoyed being around the company playing games.
and jessica and i both got new hair dos!  now that we are back to our flat, we are trying to figure out how to style it...and we have kind of given up on trying because of the eastern european weather of being damp, rainy, and cloudy.  so it might be on hold until we return.
so the tears have already started in saying goodbyes.  it is killing me.  but i know that what i am currently wrapping up has been a beautiful thing.

i know that i have seen the Lords grace(which i am still learning about) and his faithfulness.  my heart is heavy.  i really don't know how to put into words how i am feeling, and this is the best that is coming out.  please forgive me.  

please be praying as the changes are rapidly approaching!
